Events Manager for BuddyPress

I’ve mentioned this before so some of the regulars here may remember this, but I’m currently collaborating with Davide Benini on the Events Manager plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-manager/) and we’ve just finished a major rewrite of the code, which will allow us now to make some seriously needed upgrades. The plugin is pretty stable now and we’re planning on extending it further. One thing we’re going to do over the next few weeks is make this work with buddypress so that users can manage their own events. If people have any ideas on specific features in the buddypress department, we’re open to suggestions!

Thanks for the two recommendations, I’ll check ’em out and see what they have to offer. We already have a pretty solid events system in place for wp, so I’m hoping we can build on that. Some of these features you mentioned we’re hoping to make available on non-buddypress installs too, so maybe it’ll be two birds with one big stone

r.e. buddypress, over time we’d be interested in doing whatever’s necessary to plug em into the right parts of buddypress, Groups, personal profile, etc.

btw, sorry for late replies here… I simply forget to check and since I don’t get any emails about this forgetting can mean not answering in weeks! off-topic, but on that note am I blind or is there an rss feed or another way of doing this? i’m so happy wp.org has notifications now, would be awesome if it had here too.

The single most import feature is that events have their own title structure. Previous event plugins have used the groups code as their base but the problem with that is that events don’t get titled in a very seo friendly way (if at all) AND often link directly back to the main blog’s latest post. This is an SEO killer Also if events could be included in the WP tagging structure that too would help. If I had to add one more feature it would be the addition of an rss feed.

Is there a way to add extended profile fields info to the Bookings Report? When people register, I ask them if they are Vegetarian and I need that info when I manage the bookings to know how many vege meals to serve. I tried using for an added column but it only fetches my preference in all the columns.

1) Could you put the option to create New Categories at the Front End, please?
2) I found that Categories could be selected by Front End users when creating events, but did not stay selected on save.
3) The calendar is very useful but currently shows ALL the events. Can it be adjusted just to show Events I’m Attending or Group Events?
